Se a grandi ingiustizie corrispondono grandi punizioni. Alcune riflessioni sul lessico della sanzione divina in Erodoto

2016

In uno dei passi più rilevanti dell’opera Serse annuncia ai notabili persiani di voler conquistare la Grecia. L’attacco, secondo il ‘νόμος espansionistico’ inaugurato dai suoi predecessori, porterà non solo gloria all’impero persiano ma permetterà inoltre di conquistare una terra fertile e di ottenere finalmente “ἅμα τιμωρίην τε καὶ τίσιν”. Gli Ateniesi, che per primi hanno intrapreso azioni ingiuste contro la Persia, pagheranno per ciò che hanno fatto. Come rendere l’ideale retributivo espresso da questi due vocaboli utilizzati insieme? Esiste per lo storico di Alicarnasso una chiara distinzione tra un atto punitivo e uno meramente ritorsivo? Lo studio delle forme di causalità presenti nel…

Digging into group establishment: Intervention design and evaluation

2021

Previous research has documented challenges in students’ group work. An identifiable segment of the previous research that relates to improving students’ group work conditions is the study of group formation and self- and peer-assessment. Though studies that primarily focus on how to address the conditions of students’ group work and the existing problems can be found, there are not many related to higher education settings. On this ground, the present article advances a qualitative evaluation of the intervention that promotes student groups’ self-awareness and thereby self-regulation toward fair group work during a software engineering project. An inductive thematic analysis was applied to…

Energy retrofit actions on Italian historical buildings: energy efficiency and feasibility. A review study.

2016

Today in EU, the growth in global primary energy consumption is decreasing. In 2014, Italy contributed with a global reduction of 17.1%, thanks to the application of EU measures on different areas. However, there is still much work to be done in order to make sustainable societies and territories, especially in buildings sector that has the greatest potentiality of energy saving. In particular, in the framework of Conservation, Restoration, Refurbishment, and Retrofit actions, the debate is still open, because many aspects must be considered and solved yet. In this paper, the state of the art of the Italian residential building heritage has been reviewed, applicable energy retrofit issues a…

Singing the News of Punishment

2021

Abstract This article explores the pan-European phenomenon of the execution ballad, songs that told the news of true crimes and their punishment by public execution. Looking at examples across nine languages, from the sixteenth through the nineteenth century, this comparison reveals that these ballads share multiple features in textual content and format: a recognisable, formulaic narrative; sensationalist and emotive language; and a conservative perspective that confirms that the condemned is guilty and that ‘justice’ is being served. We also note key regional differences, such as in the use (or not) of contrafactum, the setting of new lyrics to familiar melodies, in the use of the first v…

Controlling the image of the teacher’s body under authoritarianism: the case of Soviet Latvia (1953–1984)

2017

The ideal of the Soviet teacher can be revealed in Soviet mass media, but historians are challenged by the question “what was the actual reality”? Therefore, we addressed the reality of the Soviet ...

La Inquisició de València contra Vicent Navarro (1750-1757), Diego Ramírez (1742) i Pedro Navarro (1588), tres casos de bestialisme

2019

Resum: La sodomia i el bestialisme han estat considerats al llarg de l’edat mitjana i moderna com un dels màxims exponents del pecat de luxúria. El «crim nefand», entés com una ofensa directa a Déu, va ser perseguit per diversos corpus jurídics arreu de l’Europa cristiana, i els autors del «crim contra natura» sovint eren condemnats a la foguera. Tanmateix, pel que fa als processos que ací presentem, les penes amb què els acusats van porgar els seus crims van ser més benèvoles. Aquest és el cas de Vicent Navarro, que va commutar la pena capital per la de galeres; o Pedro Navarro, que va haver de patir el desterrament. Desconeixem la sentència de Diego Ramírez, per bé que, a més de bestialis…

Vicarious liability for the carrier by river ?

2007

AbstractA case-study of a litigation during the years 1566–1574 between merchants from Oudenaarde and the Corporation of Free Shippers in Ghent shows that the corporation's liability for damage caused by one of its members was controversial. Although art. 20 of the ordinance of 14 February 1541 appeared to phrase the corporation's vicarious or subsidiary liability in general terms, the corporation's counsel, assisted by consultancies from a.o. E. Leoninus and J. Wamesius, successfully argued that in the light of the ordinance's rationale, which limited the free shippers' privileges in the aftermath of Charles V's punishment of Ghent in 1540, the corporation's liability had correspondingly t…

The locked psychiatric ward: hotel or detention camp for people with dual diagnosis.

2013

The concepts of autonomy and liberty are established goals in mental health care; however, involuntary commitment is used towards people with mental health and substance abuse problems (dual diagnosis).To explore how patients and staff act in the context of involuntary commitment, how interactions are described and how they might be interpreted.Ethnographic methodology in a locked psychiatric ward in Norway.Two parallel images emerged: (a) The ward as a hotel. Several patients wanted a locked ward for rest and safety, even when admission was classified as involuntary. The staff was concerned about using the ward for real treatment of motivated people, rather than merely as a comfortable hot…

Secreted proteophosphoglycan of Leishmania mexicana amastigotes activates complement by triggering the mannan binding lectin pathway.

1997

Cutaneous lesions induced by infection of mice with the protozoan parasite, Leishmania mexicana, contain abundant amounts of a high molecular mass proteophosphoglycan (PPG), which is secreted by the amastigote stage residing in phagolysosomes of macrophages and can then be released into the tissue upon rupture of the infected cells. Amastigote PPG forms sausage-shaped but soluble particles and belongs to a novel class of serine-rich proteins that are extensively O-glycosylated by phosphooligosaccharides capped by mannooligosaccharides. The purified molecule is shown here to efficiently activate complement (C) and deplete hemolytic activity of normal serum and may prevent the opsonization of…
